the big coal companies setting to work all the
men they can hire. The authorities Of the
New-Jcrsey towns should then be asked for

Mr.. Randall and his friends in the House
are going to meet in Washington tonight to
see if they cannot contrive some way to get
the Randall patchwork Tariff bill considered.
They seem to count upon a measure of Repub-
loan support. They will hardly get it. The
Republicans are entirely competent to frame
and introduce tariff measures Of their own in
Congress when they get ready, and few, if
any OF them will DO willing to help fly the
Randall kite. A long and fruitless debate on
tariff and internal revenue matters would only
disturb the business of the country for nothing.
In the excitement attending Lord Randolph
Churchill's resignation, Lord Iddesleigh's death
Bismarck's quarrel with his Reichstag and the
big war credit of the French Government, Bull
garia has been we-nigh forgotten. Yet it is
fact that amid all this confusion the plucly
little Balkan principally fourishes al ace. Her
affairs are administered in a regular cOnstitu-
d0nal way, and she seems to be getting along
perfectly well without any Prince to rule over
her. So long as this state OF things continues
and Austria remains true TO the recent decla-
tations of her Ministers. Bulgaria may well
teel cVntentcd.
The various associations of talking working
meu in this city devoted themselves yesterday
10 taking sides vigorously with the Rev. Dr.
McGlynn and against his church. Two mass
meetings have been called to emphasize the
admiration in which the suspended priest is
held. and to proclaim the dsapproval felt for
Archbishop Csrrigsn's course toward him.
Juat what principle the sympathizng working
men mean 10 vindicate is not clear. To disip-
terested outsiders this case seems to be princi-
paly matter Of church discipline. Yet the
McGlynn party raises cry against the inter
ference OF the R.'man Catholic Church ia pol
ttics. That 10 all very we'll, Of course but

properly take hand in the game, why

It is with extreme regret that we print
this morning an announcement of the
unexpected and untimely death of Gen.
eral Hazen. Chief of the Signal Service
Office. He was as gallant an officer as
tho war produced. and it was his 20 I'd fortune
to lead almost the last serious military opera
ton at the SDuth at the close of the waI-the
storming of Fort McAllister, at Savannah, with
which Shernan's ioarch to the sea ended.
General Hdzen was blunt. downright man,
who made many enemies and endured mucI,
undeserved abuse, through a lack of tact
and native pugnacity that led him to embra
every oppoItuuity that off red for quarrel.
> hut he was honest, gallant, sincere patriotic
saldier, a steadiast friend and a loyal gentle
man. The Army is the poorer for his deai h, and
the country loses faithful citizen who risked
HE life for her il war aud gave his life in con-
slant serv co To her in peace.
